For loop over dygraph does not work in R
There is some strange behavior on dygraph
.
When using a for
loop for dygraph
i get no result.
library(dygraphs)
lungDeaths <- cbind(mdeaths, fdeaths)
for(i in 1:2){
dygraph(lungDeaths[, i])
}
On the other hand when i use lapply
i do get the expected result
lapply(1:2, function(i) dygraph(lungDeaths[, i]))
I actually want to use the for
loop in R Markdown
on my own data set and iterate over the different columns, but even when i use the lapply
"workaround", it does not plot the dygraphs
R Markdown code

title: "Untitled"
author: "dimitris_ps"
date: "28 May 2015"
output: html_document
---
```{r}
library(dygraphs)
lungDeaths <- cbind(mdeaths, fdeaths)
lapply(1:2, function(i) dygraph(lungDeaths[, i]))
```
Whereas when i run it column by column it works

title: "Untitled"
author: "dimitris_ps"
date: "28 May 2015"
output: html_document

```{r echo=FALSE}
library(dygraphs)
lungDeaths <- cbind(mdeaths, fdeaths)
```
```{r}
dygraph(lungDeaths[, 1])
dygraph(lungDeaths[, 2])
```
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Just wrap the list output from lapply()
in htmltools::tagList()
, e.g.
```{r}
library(dygraphs)
lungDeaths <- cbind(mdeaths, fdeaths)
res <- lapply(1:2, function(i) dygraph(lungDeaths[, i]))
htmltools::tagList(res)
```
For anyone struggling with a loop, here's what worked for me.
p=list()
for (n in 1:3){
p[[n]] <- plot_ly(x = 1:100, y = rnorm(100)+n, mode = 'lines', type="scatter")
}
htmltools::tagList(p)
I.e. it doesn't matter if the list p is created in a loop or lapply, etc. as long as you call htmltools::tagList outside the loop.
Thanks to Yihui for helping me get there and for immense work developing and helping with these tools.
